The transfer of Josh Hart at the Knicks at the trade deadline already made perfect sense. On the floor of New York, he took even more. Swiss army knife in the rotation of Tom Thibodeauthe winger is heading straight for a contract extension which should reach 18 million dollars per season, from Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.
The re-signing of the player would seem “inevitable” within the league. The question that now arises is therefore that of the salary, which should exceed fifteen million annually. A relatively high amount, but for which he put himself in the right arrangements.
Joel Embiid, the Knicks have absolutely no chance!
Since joining the Blazers in February, Josh Hart has been incredibly efficient with 10.2 points, 7 rebounds and 3.6 assists, 58.4% on shots, including 51.9% three-point average . Among the best rebounders in his position, his impact extends to both sides of the field. His defensive intensity makes his coach happy. He incidentally brings good vibes to a locker room he shares with Jalen Brunson, his former college teammate at Villanova, one of the great stories of the New York season.
The fact that the former Pelicans and Lakers player is coming on a transfer also provides some financial flexibility for the Knicks. They will be able to re-sign it with Bird Rights and fit its 18 million into their budget more easily. All that remains is to sign the contract.
